I'm a bit tardy in catching up with my mail. Bill Hamilton sent us on 27
July, responding to Stephen Jones, the old poem
> For lack of a nail the shoe was lost;
> For lack of a shoe the horse was lost;
> For lack of a horse the rider was lost;
> For lack of a rider the battle was lost;
> For lack of a victory the kingdom was lost.
Is this a good example of nonlinearity? Chaos theory (after all, many
nails could be missing, but because of the lack of *this* nail the
kingdom was lost, surely an unpredictable result)?
Sort of seriously,
Russ
